Securing EV charging & V2G: protecting vehicles from cyber threats at the plug
Can’t attend live? Register anyway, and we’ll send you a link to the slides and a video of the webinar when it’s finished.
As EV adoption grows, secure communication between vehicles and charging stations is critical, especially with the rise of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) integration. ISO 15118 enables seamless and secure EV charging through asymmetric cryptography, authentication, and encryption, but implementing these security measures has challenges, including certificate management, key exchange, and interoperability.
One significant risk is the EV charging port, which is more accessible than an OBD-II port and an attractive target for attackers.
In this free, 60-minute webinar, Shaked Delarea of PlaxidityX and Irdeto’s Adam Wilkinson identify the attack vectors hackers might exploit, explain how Electric Vehicle Charging Controller (EVCC) and ISO 15118 protect against these threats, and explore the security strategies needed to safeguard charging infrastructure and V2G transactions.
Key topics and takeaways:
- EV charging and V2G introduce new cyber risks across vehicles, charging stations, and the cloud.
ISO 15118 strengthens EV security through encryption and authentication but presents challenges in implementation. - A cybersecurity-first approach, rigorous testing, and interoperability considerations are essential to protecting EV charging infrastructure.
- Pentesting is crucial for identifying vulnerabilities in EV charging systems before attackers exploit them.
